Memristive synapses connect brain and silicon spiking neurons

“Brain function relies on circuits of spiking neurons with synapses playing the key role of merging transmission with memory storage and processing. Electronics has made important advances to emulate neurons and synapses and brain-computer interfacing concepts that interlink brain and brain-inspired devices are beginning to materialise. We report on memristive links between brain and silicon spiking neurons that emulate transmission and plasticity properties of real synapses.”

Parkinson, Bruno Mastrotto dona 154 mila euro per la ricerca

(Italian version only) Angelo Antonini, Università di Padova: «Grazie a questo finanziamento potremo combattere il declino cognitivo nel Parkinson con un nuovo strumeno che modula le alterazioni cerebrali attraverso la stimolazione elettrica. Questo ci consentirà di fare passi importanti verso il miglioramento della cura e della qualità della vita nei nostri pazienti»
